A man from an Islamic nation in North Africa reached out on social media to find Christians who could tell him about Jesus, but no one answered his questions.

International Day for the Unreached
Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the gospel? That’s right. About 3 billion people are cut off from hearing about Jesus.

Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekers risk theirContinue reading “International Day for the Unreached”

A Lost and Dying World
Each day, 157,690 people enter eternity without the hope of salvation. As you take a breath this very second, two more have died without Christ. And now, two more. Forever lost. In darkness. Six more now. It’s a sobering thought. Nearly six billion people in this world still do not know Jesus. How can youContinue reading “A Lost and Dying World”

How Truly Do You Love?
God has given us so much through His Son. What will you give for Him? How far are you willing to go to see Christ’s Kingdom come to the ends of the earth? Will you share with your neighbors?

The God Who Made a Hijacker Cry
A Samaritan’s Purse plane carrying medical supplies from Juba, South Sudan to a mobile medical unit in the northeast was hijacked last week. Yasir Mohammed Yusuf snuck on board and hid behind the cargo barrier until after takeoff. With gun in hand, he threatened to kill the pilot and another Samaritan’s Purse staff member, demandingContinue reading “The God Who Made a Hijacker Cry”
Off of the Couch and into the World
Why do we insist on our own comfort when the very nature of the gospel calls us to give our all for Christ? When the One we claim to follow did not spare even His own life but gave it freely as a ransom for us? “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselvesContinue reading “Off of the Couch and into the World”

A Lost and Dying World
Hamas terrorists returned to Israel the murdered bodies of four hostages—Shlomo Mansour, 86, Ohad Yahalomi, 50, Tsachi Idan, 50, and Itzik Elgarat, 69. In return, Israel released 643 prisoners and detainees. Both Gaza and Israel are more than 97% unreached, which means the perhaps 60,000 or so who have died in that war likely neverContinue reading “A Lost and Dying World”

Loving the Lost – John 3:16
Christ has given so much for us. What will you give for Him? How can you thank Him deeply, not just with your words, but with your life? The fact that so much of the world still has not heard the good news could be more a love problem than one of restricted access. How deeplyContinue reading “Loving the Lost – John 3:16”
Hungry Hearts in Haiti
God is at work through your prayers for Haiti! Last month, here at the Prayer Wall, we prayed for survivors of a boat explosion to hunger for Jesus and hear the plan of salvation.

Refugees in the News This Week
Pakistan is forcing 1.5 million undocumented Afghan refugees and migrants out of their country. So far, more than 250,000 have returned homeless to impoverished Afghanistan just as winter comes. Refugees fleeing fighting in Sudan have reported mass killings of perhaps 800 people, most from the Masalit ethnic group in a camp for internally displaced people.Continue reading “Refugees in the News This Week”
Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?
This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the third, people held tickets to Heaven in their hands. Some clutched only their own, but others held onto several tickets meant for other people. They waved them about, excitedly telling the people they were meant for how to get one, whileContinue reading “Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?”
More Than 3,000 Refugees Rescued
At least 79 refugees died and 104 have been rescued from a fishing boat that capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Greece Wednesday.

A Lost and Dying World
Tomorrow begins our 30 Days of Prayer for Global Awakening March 23-April 21. Come join us!

A Life Changed Forever
With all the tragic news of late, the Lord asked me to share with you today a story of hope and remaining faithful in love. Because love is what matters.

Hope for Yemen
Yemen is 99.7% Muslim and considered one of the top most dangerous countries in the world for seekers and followers of Jesus. As intense as persecution of Christians has been, nearly a decade of violent, hate-filled war between Muslims themselves has led many Yemenis to question their beliefs, seek Truth and find Jesus. God ofContinue reading “Hope for Yemen”
When Christmas Is Forbidden
Did you consider not celebrating Christmas this year? What got you thinking along those lines? Commercialism? Traditions with pagan roots? Some other reason on an ever-growing list? Christmas takes on a whole new meaning when you live where it is forbidden. Where even one decoration in your home could get you arrested. Where telling theContinue reading “When Christmas Is Forbidden”
Malaysia: How a Seeker Found Christ
The death toll from Friday’s landslide is now up to 23, with 10 still missing. Let’s continue to pray for these families. To be Malay is to be Muslim. It is written into the constitution. Ethnic Malays who convert to Christianity from Islam break that law and face severe persecution. In fact, Muslims have beenContinue reading “Malaysia: How a Seeker Found Christ”
Hope for the Stranded and Homeless
As I stood with other believers amid the rubble in the early morning, I watched a man load up his bicycle with what food he could carry.

Let’s pray for a mighty movement of the Lord in Afghan communities throughout the world. Lord, please give Afghan refugees suchContinue reading “Pray for Refugees”
Christians Offer Relief and Love to Hurricane Victims
With more than 1 million without power and more than 600,000 without water in the intense Louisiana heat, many Christian families who have generators or other means of electricity have invited those who are stranded into their homes and are now loving them into Jesus’ arms. “He is sending to us the 25-30-year-old unbelievers,” oneContinue reading “Christians Offer Relief and Love to Hurricane Victims”
Every Nation Under Heaven
